Hello, I do backups with something like 'tar cfz home.tgz home' and today due to an emergency I was lucky to have such backups and did a restore with something like 'tar xzf home.tgz'. I was suprised that now all diretories have the today modificatguru/Adaion time, like this: $ ls -ld Ada drwxr-xr-x 2 guru wheel 512 1 may. 11:31 Ada $ ls -l Ada total 1008 -rwxr-xr-x 1 guru wheel 977936 27 feb. 2016 hello -rw-r--r-- 1 guru wheel 124 27 feb. 2016 hello.adb -rw-r--r-- 1 guru wheel 1630 27 feb. 2016 hello.ali -rw-r--r-- 1 guru wheel 1608 27 feb. 2016 hello.o -rw-r--r-- 1 guru wheel 120 27 feb. 2016 hello.txt In the tar archive the directory 'Ada' looks like this: $ grep guru/Ada guru-20250501.tar.gz.lst drwxr-xr-x 0 guru wheel 0 8 Dez. 2020 guru/Ada/ -rw-r--r-- 0 guru wheel 124 27 Feb. 2016 guru/Ada/hello.adb -rw-r--r-- 0 guru wheel 1630 27 Feb. 2016 guru/Ada/hello.ali -rw-r--r-- 0 guru wheel 1608 27 Feb. 2016 guru/Ada/hello.o -rwxr-xr-x 0 guru wheel 977936 27 Feb. 2016 guru/Ada/hello -rw-r--r-- 0 guru wheel 120 27 Feb. 2016 guru/Ada/hello.txt Why is the directory guru/Ada/ not set to 8 Dez. 2020 after restoring the files into it? Is this a bug in our bsdtar?
